You can turn on or turn off the keyboard accelerator keys. This means that the keyboard character of the acceleration shows up in the following:
Application + Window -- means in all applications that use them and in Open Windows menus
Application Only -- means only OPEN LOOK applications that use them
None -- means will not show up in any OPEN LOOK application
This is a standard set of tasks (within a DeskSet application) that can be "accelerated" from the keyboard by using keyboard shortcuts. These will be visible from the pull-down menus, and can be configured on or off from the Workspace Properties menu. Keyboard accelerators are active for only the windows that are active. If you need to turn these off, you can select None from Keyboard Menu Equivalents from the Keyboard Properties. The following table outlines the keyboard shortcuts and their functions.
The Meta key is the <> key on SPARC keyboards; on x86 and PowerPC keyboards Meta is obtained by pressing Ctrl-Alt.
The following table uses these abbreviations:
FM = File Manager
CM = Calendar Manager
MT = Mail Tool
TE = Text Editor
SS = Snapshot
IE = Icon Editor
B = Binder
PT = Print Tool
IT = Image Tool
AT = Audio Tool
X = Accelerated Menu Item
- = no relevant menu item
btn = relevant item is a button (no accelerator)
Meta = use the Meta key (<> or Ctrl-Alt) on your keyboard
Accel = Keys to press in this order to invoke the accelerator
